Description Specification Summary About us

What Are Kruger Ponds?

Kruger Ponds are South African coins, minted in Pretoria between 1892 and 1900, before the Second Boer War, taking advantage of the gold flooding into the Transvaal Republic in the wake of the Witwatersrand Gold Rush.

Obverse: Portrait Of Paul Kruger

Gold Ponds feature an instantly recognisable portrait of statesman Paul Kruger by Otto Schultz on their obverse, later used on the Krugerrand series. The surrounding inscription reads 'ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK'.

Reverse: ZAR Coat Of Arms

Otto Schultz also designed the reverse of these coins, which features the arms of the South African Republic (ZAR) with 'EENDRAGT MAAKT MAGT' ('unity makes strength') to the scroll and '1 POND ⋆' and the date above.

Made From 22-Carat Gold

Kruger Ponds were struck to the same specification as British gold Sovereigns in approximately 7.9 grams of 22-carat gold. Surviving examples may be a very slightly lighter due to normal wear and tear over the centuries.
